“Have you known him long?”
“No. He is only a young man. He steals tobacco.”
“Does he come from your village?”
“Yes.”
“Have you known him all his life?”
“No, because he went and spent some time in the Germanis’ country. I think he went to steal tobacco.”
“Did he come back alone from the Germanis’ country?”
“No. He brought askaris and muzangos. [183a] They killed my people and burnt my village.”
“You are sure it was this man who brought them?”
“Is he not a prisoner?”
